To zip means to move quickly, but trust me, there won't be much zipping - - though there could have been, had it not been derailed - - through an eastbound I-94 lane closure through the fall just because WisDOT throws an imaginary "zipper" into the mix:

As part of the Zoo Interchange project, a lane closure on I-94 East, between Sunnyslope Road and WIS 100, will be in effect beginning March 5 until early fall 2016.

"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
